Hello, I am going to try to update this piece more often. Sorry for anybody who is a faithful visitor to the site. I am pretty much over the sickness period for this year. It usually happens once a year, when I get little sleep and moderately stressed over exams. This will is going to be relaxing for me, I have 4 classes between Monday and Tuesday, but no homework, labs, or exams. Happy Thanksgiving everybody, I hope that everybody will have a great break from classes or work or whatever it is that you do. The school servers were all messed up last week when class registration started for classes and eventually they wiped everybody out of the system and registration is going to restart today. They have limited the load a lot from the usual amount the server takes to prevent another catastrophe like last week. I personally think they would run the entire system of my fantastic computer to alleviate all problems.The past two football games have been amazing I must say. If you get a chance to attend a UVa home football it is definitely worth it. UVa beat NC State and Maryland the past two weeks. Amazing playing by UVa, I must say. After UVa mopped up Maryland the fans rushed the field. This was my second time rushing the field since I have been here, pretty fun stuff. The really ‘smart’ UVa kids didn’t look so smart as they were trying to tear the goal posts down but with no success whatsoever. I guess the wonderful UVa Engineering School is too smart for the average UVa kid.The yearly elections were help at Pi Lam yesterday. Although I didn’t get the position I really wanted, I am excited on a new start with new leaders. All of the underclassmen cleaned the football stadium after the Maryland game on Saturday. It took us under 3 hours to cover the whole stadium and clean it up. It was a fun time for the most part, except I not walk lopsided now because I was always bending over to pick up trash the exact same way each time.I have more pictures that should be appearing on my site at some point in the near future. I have a few (but not enough) of the fourth years’ fifths and some of the football game and other stuffs. I also ran the 4th year 5K at 8am on Saturday. I was really slow (21:27) for a 25th place. I learned that I can not run like I used to. I went out with the leaders of the pack and was not able to stay with them. This didn’t used to be the case, I used to expect myself to stay with the leaders and finish not far behind, but not anymore. I was really hoping for around 20 minutes, but oh well. I am just a fat, old, lazy man now. I will work on ridding myself of that plague. I’m off to class now, I will setup a feedback form soon, and ask me some questions or something. I really am looking for ideas on how to make this site more interesting. Have fun fellas.Continue reading UVa Football how amazing, I’m going to a bowl
